A Ballerina's Eternal Dream



She remembers dancing in purple, satin toe shoes, in front of stage lights.
Ah, her ballet heart, so joyous, tender and light.

Agility plus ability were her most blessed twin mights.
She lived and breathed ballet delights!

              times then changed........

She follows the dark, but it is still  her stage light.
The older she is, the stronger her might.

Some will tag this as "memory"~
A hurtful and most unholy slight!

In a ballerina lives, an eternal, musical dream,
Where she's constantly transforming her reality.

Her hopes, roses and tenderest kisses.
For her loving, handsome, forever ballet king.

A young innocent aspiring ballerina loses her innocence and wants to know whats on the other side of the tracks but often reflects on her life back then and in her heart she'll always be that ballerina in the spotlight. Tom
